Welcoming message plus tips (continued)

DON'T BE A LONE RANGER, instead work and study together. If or you need clarification, ASK. If your friends ask for help/clarification - EXPLAIN, DEMOSTRATE or any possible form of help - because when you help others, you're helping yourselves memorising, understanding better on a concept. Why do you think lecturers seem to master the subject? (on the fingertips!) Because they teach, help, explain, demonstrate, lecture over and over again.

DON'T WAIT. You should start studying when you get the syllabus. When? NOW! Don't wait for the lectures or tutorials. If you have studied earlier, lectures will help you understand better, then tutorials can be the exercises - to check on what you might have missed out or forgotten.

CONCENTRATE during you lesson, especially LECTURE. There's a serious misconception - lecture is where the lecturer is soooo far ahead, that whatever you do will not be noticed, that it is a chance to relax and empty the minds! WRONG! You should take the opportunity during lecture to STUDY with full concentration so that you won't have to spend much time revising a particular lesson over and over again during your weekend or at your hostel. YOU DON'T HAVE MUCH TIME TO WASTE! So study during lecture will help you A GREAT DEAL!

Semester II 2011/2012 begins

Bismillahir rahmaanir rahiim.
Welcome back. It's the new semester for both lecturers and students - it's a new module implementation for everyone! For students - my advice: 1. PURIFYyour 'niat' so that every decent step and action during your study/work will be awarded with thawab (reward) by Allah the Almighty. 2. FOCUS and give your cooperation during each learning session. 3. LEARN from last semester's mistakes and rectify it for the better achievement this semester. (TO BE CONTINUED..)
